Wow, this is not good. Danks is not sharp, and has to pitch over the bad defense better than this.

Ugh, 4-1 now after the awful defense. Danks not fooling hitters so far with his offspeed stuff.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 12:46 AM) Becks launched that pitch. Was that in the upper deck?! Yes, that's easily the longest home run in his career.

Thome was all over that pitch

Whew...keep the ball up in the zone to Thome.

ugh, Quentin's bad defense just cost us an out. That's still a play Rios should have made. Hopefully it won't cost the Sox.

Whew, nice hustle by Pierre.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 12:36 AM) Hit-and-run time with Omar. Very nice!

Hit-and-run time with Omar.

BECKHAM! A bomb!

Excellent by Danks!

Everyone with a really good AB but AJP. Be nice for Danks to get us back in the dugout up 2.

Not to nitpick, but Vizquel should no better than just walking into home there.

CQ with a great swing, just missed it.

CQ, do your thing! He has to hit the ball in the air to avoid the 5-4-3.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 12:13 AM) Actually, we'd be best off with Vizquel at 2B and Viciedo at 3B, but Ozzie would rather play Beckham in hopes that he remembers how to hit, regardless of who gives us the best chance at winning. You seem very angry tonight. You ok?

Excellent base running by Pierre.

Ryan Howard just destroyed one vs the Cubs. With wind howling out, first of many home runs in this game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) Oh come on Fathom, for a guy that was advertised as athletic but raw coming in, he at least put together some decent games towards the end of last year, and that was with a guy as his coach who was so bad that he got hired by the Clippers. I honestly didn't follow the Bulls much last season besides for the last month of the season and playoffs. In the games I did watch of Johnson, he seemed to be brutal (as well as what some of my friends said about him). From what I recall, many people didn't consider Johnson all that raw due to his advanced age (same with Taj).

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) I'd like to see him become a competent ball handler for an NBA 3 before discussing his potential as a Point-Forward. Is he competent in any area? He got away in college with just being bigger and stronger than the other players, and that he had an NBA-esque frontcourt around him.

If he still feels woozy after all this time, then he's not going to be cleared for a while.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) And yet, it seems like they have him working on that in Vegas. well, he needs to work on his defense first, as he's a foul machine!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:32 PM) I'd really like both of them and have a SG-SF rotation of Redick-Brewer-Korver-Deng-Johnson. Hell, maybe if Johnson realizes his Point-Forward potential, he could run the point at times to let Derrick rest. Wait, James Johnson as point guard? NO THANKS! He's way too clumsy with the ball.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:30 PM) apparently the Hornets rescinded their offer to Luther Head based on medical reports well, Luther needs to stake them out with a golf club and make them change their mind.

4 lefties in the lineup against Danks. He should be very successful if he can locate his slider.
